Can guppies survive in a tank without filter and oxygen pump?
*
how big is the tank? how many guppies are we talking about?

2-3 are ok in a small tank. 6" type of tank.
more than 8, are really not encouraged. unless you know what you're doing.

frequent water change is the key.

where do you get your guppies from ? any good source around kl/pj?
*
are you looking for pure strain guppies? or just normal guppies?
you can find plenty of those in any aquarium shop in pj, any of them would have, but not sure if it's healthy.

you just gotta monitor a bit before buying. and they are getting more expensive per tail.

but if you are looking for pure strain guppies, you may let me know, can get some for you. but they are more expensive than guppies from the shop.

New guppy fan here!

Keeping em in a small pond, about 15" wide. Just added a water cabbage to reduce algae growth. I know algae is good for the fry, but it gets too much at times, until cant see anything beyond depth of 2". They're thriving, altho occasionally a fry dies once a week. I suspect it's being bitten by the others, cos the fins are all torn apart. Probably cos it's getting a bit crowded. (about 50 fries, and 6 adults).

Now planning to get a small aquarium to keep the male adults, while letting the fries grow without being harrassed too much.
*
i think your 15" pond is a bit too small to be a pond, why not show us your picture? haha...

i would, get a bigger plastic tank, and keep the fry aside in this, can monitor them, feed them with brine shrimp etc.

Thanks  blush.gif

That was after a 50% water change. Wondering how much green can they tolerate. sweat.gif

A few months ago was like this:

Lots of water cabbage, and water tend to remain clear. The plants grew buds really actively, almost covered the entire pond. Had to remove some once in a while. But after a few weeks, the plants started dying (the leaves and root rot easily) and the water turned green. No idea what happened.
*
green water is perfectly fine for guppies. no problem, in fact, it is healthier, but we prefer crystal clear water instead. but you gotta be careful of the rottens leafs and root. green water is because the water exposed to sunlight directly or bacteria boom.

Well it is being exposed to sunlight directly, cos it's on the balcony. sweat.gif  I wanted to move it indoors but we dont have the space. I added a pair of algae eaters a few weeks ago, but it doesnt seem to help.

The previous water cabbage dies off easily. The new one I bought (different type, not sure what is it called) seems to be sturdier, though it doesnt really propagate. sad.gif
Starting a small aquarium to separate the males cos I dont want any more fry. The pond is overcrowded as it is.

Small aquarium with black gravel. Personally I like white better, but worried it might look dirty easily.

on your pond, you can get some otto, but not sure if they can survive outside at the balcony with rain and sun etc.

but for your small tank, it is always advisable to have a bare tank to keep guppies, especially if you are keeping pure strain.
it's okay if you wanna put the black gravel, are they sharp? the black sand i mean, are they smooth? i might afraid it might cut the guppies, they might injured themselves. if it's smooth, you can always add cory doras (some ppl doesn't agree), but you can also put apple snail. they can take care of the left over food for you. thumbup.gif

Thanks for your suggestions thumbup.gif

Stopped by a petshop today, they're selling Ottos for 4.50 each. They seem to work really hard sucking every inch of the aquarium, but I'm just worried it might not be as hardy as the guppies and might not survive the pond. The Golden Chinese Algae Eaters i have are not helping much with controlling the algae.

The black gravel in the aquarium is kinda okay i guess. Not too sharp, but I wouldnt say smooth. The guppies seem to be okay for now. Not sure if it will be safe for corydoras or ottos. sweat.gif

Sharing pics smile.gif

don't put GAE or SAE especially if you have fry, they are aggressive, they tends to be territorial. i think you can put apple snail instead.

the tank, the water cycled already? one of the guppies looked like got claimed tail....

You mean the guppy on the left in second pic? I think just because of the way he swims. They all look fine in real life.

The tank hasnt been cycled though. I dont have other fish to cycle it with. So have to use the guppies. Gonna do frequent water changes as well. I hope the plants will help also.

My only concern at the moment, is the guppies are extremely active in the new tank. And they like to play with the water current from the pump, rather than wiggling along in the other half of the tank where the water current is minimal. They're behaving like a school of fishes as well. If one guy goes to one side of the tank, the rest will follow as well. One goes to the bottom, the rest will follow. Just wondering if this a sign of stress or is it normal behavior.
*
how many days have the water been running in the tank before you put the guppies in?
active is a good sign... no issue, but guppies are not schooling fish though...

i let the water stand for 1 day, and run the pump for 1 day. on the first night, they seem restless and not feeding well. but the next day they're eating again.

yeah they're not schooling fish, which is why im wondering why are they always doing everything together in groups. maybe just bcos the tank is too small. sweat.gif
*
should let the water cycle with the pump on for another day or 2 before putting them in.
hmm, try putting female fishes inside, see how would they react. haha...

yea, should've let the pump run longer. too eager back then. sweat.gif

i dont want them to breed anymore laugh.gif and so far this all-male tank seem ok. everyone's getting along quite well. i keep a daily lookout for any clamped fins, any torn fins, anyone biting each other, and whether they are able to rest at night. anything else i should keep a lookout for? they're really small and cant stay still, so i cant look at the scales or pectoral fins properly. laugh.gif

i think im just lucky. sweat.gif these guys arent too picky. i have 2 more males, different type (Delta tail i think), which like to harass others. tried putting them in the tank, but they werent doing so well. macam no mood, not swimming much. so i put back in the pond then terus active again. will try them again in a few weeks.

once i have more experience, might plan to get another and bigger tank later on.

okay, good luck to you. let me know if you are looking for pure strain guppies.. thanks.

tehoice you sell pure strain guppies? biggrin.gif

anyway guppies don't like strong water flow, for small tanks and using HOB filter, please take note of how the water falls.

i got some, depending on what you are looking for. if not i can also find it for you. through friends.

Thinking of converting to a planted tank. But still searching on how feasible it is.  sweat.gif
*
this is too big for your tank bro, 8 seconds your tank dry ad, just use the smaller one, to vacuum the dirt out. i do it manually often.

also, if you're looking to do a planted tank, i would suggest at least 2ft tank, that way, you have more room for error, and it's not so easy to get bored.
if the tank is too small, you will soon wanna upgrade again.

hey there
been thinking of starting an aquarium lately

i saw my friend's mini tank and he suggested me the same which is a 9.5" x 4.7" x 5.5" plastic tank without filter or pump

there's 7 guppy inside, 2 of it females.

gravels on bottom and minimal decors

he said when start, fill the tank, put in 2 cap of chlorine remover
few drops of :
-anti white spot
-fungus solution
-general aid

let the water be for a while before adding the guppies in

he has his for around few months. no casualties he said

feasible ka?

planning to put it on top of shoe rack which is inside the house, gets some sunlight but not direct

water change should be once a week?

might be feeding it once a day, perhaps dinner time
*
everyone has their own way of keeping, if you know what you're doing and you can handle it, then no problem.

but given the situation you mentioned above, i think it's quite a risk. i won't put my 200 bucks guppy in there/like this.

the killer part is the weekly water change. i would do at least 30-40 or even 50% of water change every 2-3 days.

2 feet memang no space. cos im keeping the tank in room.  sweat.gif

just vacuumed the dirt manually. stirred the water a bit to bring up the debris so that can suck easier. turns out all the debris now stuck in between the cabomba plant. laugh.gif

Also manually calculated my filter rate. At lowest setting, it's filtering at 90L/hr. So that part kawtim.
*
then i suggest you to go with 1.5ft then, not too big, not too small. just nice i guess...

noted about the water change cycle.  nod.gif

the key is the water condition, if its healthy, then your fish will too be healthy.
keep the water running with air pump for 2 days before changing. i always do that. at least 1 day. but some ppl just use direct filtered water treated with anti chlorine, no deny that you can keep it that way too, it's all about sharing,
